Unresectable Stage III NSCLC

PIVOT study is a multicenter, phase I/II clinical study designed to evaluate induction chemoimmunotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and consolidation immunotherapy in patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Phase I consists of a single-arm safety lead-in study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of the investigational regimen. If predefined safety criteria are met, the study proceeds to a phase II randomized controlled trial comparing induction chemoimmunotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and consolidation immunotherapy with the standard PACIFIC regimen. The objective of the phase II study is to determine whether the investigational treatment strategy improves progression-free survival while maintaining an acceptable safety profile compared with the standard PACIFIC regimen.

PulmoPrint is a clinical study at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) that investigates why some patients with unresectable stage III lung cancer don't respond to immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy. To do this, a small dose of a fluorescently labeled version of the immunotherapy drug durvalumab is given via an intravenous (IV) drip, after which a bronchoscopy is performed to visualize where and how much of the drug reaches the tumor and lymph nodes - before the actual durvalumab treatment starts.
